should not use the abbrevistion "Gents"

feasible custom-srd the rush, hurry and
eagerness for time saving in busy city
like Fort Worth and space saving in a

PROTECTING WORKMES.

Governor Sawyer CT New Hampshire,
himself one of the leading manufacturers
of that state, in his message to the legis-
lature has something sensible to suggest
upon that toy of demagogues-the cur
rent labor question. "While," he says.
''it would be unwise and contrary to the
spirit of our institutions for the state to
make laws that would interfere with the
freedom of individuals in the transaction
of lawful business, to buy or sell when,
where, with whom and upon what con-
dtions, as may suit their own will and
convenience, yet it is right and proper to
establish such limitations by general and
practical laws and regulations as will
serve to protect the worker from undue
hardship often result from bushes COM
petition" He accordingly favors ten
hour law for manufacturing establish
ments, weekly payment of wages, the
exemption of the wages of laborers from
attachment for debt, the establishment
of board of arbitration or mediation for
the adjustment of differences between
employer and employed, and of bureau
of statistics to CO lect information regard
ing industries for the benefit of the peo-
pie. These, says the New York Times,
are practical and sensible recommends
tons entirely within the proper sphere Of
the law-making power.
Salt Lake evening Democrat. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1885-1887, 1887-07-06

A COUPLE married in Idaho under in
teresting circumstances last week. The
bride came from the West on the North
ern Pacific railway and the bridegroom
sped from the East via the wings of the
morning and the same road. She trans
ferred to his train, and, standing on the
Pullman platform, they were married by
an Idaho Justice of the Peace. A Scotch
missionary on his way to convert
the Federal ofice-holders in Alaska,
looked on in astonishment, and when the
Justice finished the job and jumped off
the moving train, he turned to q by
stander and exclaimed: "Great Gawd,
mon, is that legal? Do they do things
laak that in this kentry?"

LABOR VS.. CAPITAL.

This is the comprehensive way in
which Bob Ingersoll puts up the trouble
between labor and capital: "Here is a
shoe shop. One man is always busy
during the day-always industrious. In
the evening he goes courting some nice,
good girl. There are five other men in
the shop who don't do any such thing.
They spend their evenings in dissipation.
The first young man by and by cuts out
these others and gets a boot and shoe
store of his own. Soon he is able to take
his wife out to ride of an evening. The
five laborers, his former companions,
who see him indulging in this luxury,
retire to neighboring saloon and pass q
resolution that there is an eternal strug.
gle between capital and labor"

LITERARY NOTES.

In the Century for July the lighter ma
terial is of sparkling, out-of-doors char
acter, and naturally takes precedence in
attractiveness at this season.
The opening paper by John Burroughs,
on Wild Flowers, is profusely illustrated,
and is likely to set many young woman
and summer boarder to botanizing; an
other, by w. J. Henderson, on "The
Sportsman Music" giving pictures OF
live game birds and recording the musical
notes of their songs, appeals more to the
other sex. A third paper, by Talcott
Williams, treats of "Animal Locomo-
ton in the Muybridge Photographs, u
with lot OF drollv fascinating pictures
exhibiting in progressive series familiar
phenomena not fully seen before in
nature-a mule bucking and rearing,
pigeons flying, horses galloping and leap
ing, athletes jumping and throwing, ball
players batting, etc.-a paper which is in
the nature OF an excursion into a new
world. A humorous story, yet not with
out serious conclusion, is "Sister Tod
hunters H art" by II. S. Edwards, with
attractive genre pictures by Kemble, to
which there is foil in Mr.. Boyesen's
pathetic Crooked John" in which the
writer returns to the Norwegian fed OF
"GunnarD and his other early successes.
To these must be added Stockton's
"Hundredth Man, hby one of the most
individual of American fiction writers.
The Lincoln history closes up the Kan
sas troubles and discusses their corollary,
the "Lincoln-Douglas Debates" Inter-
esting and hitherto unpublished letters
by Lincoln and Greeley are given. Bow
ing with becoming humility, like good
Americans, before the common fetch the
humorist, readers who are interested in
Lincoln will yet not iail to see how neces-
sary to knowledge of the President is it
to know the political soil and atmosphere
which made him what he was. At the
same time the conviction that Messrs
Nicolay and Hay~sa==ssthe custodians Of
much OF The t.htas most personal and intimate
inside history of Lincoln's Administra-
ton may well stimulate the impatient
curiosity of the public. The veteran his
torian George Bancroft adds to the his
torical value of the number by reeounting
"An Incident in the Life of John
Adams" to which there are added por-
traits of Adams and Oliver Ellsworth.
The war paper is of unusual interest,
comparing "The Struggle for Atlanta"
The poetry of THE CENTURY embraces
from month to month many new con-
tributors and large range of method.
This month it is contributed by Edith
NJ. Thomas, the late F.. R. Sill, William
II. Hayne, Kate Putnam Osgood, Juliet
c. Marsh, William Struthers, the late
Sidney Lanier, and Gertrude Hall.

ber are, ga New Era in our History"
